“Securitization, Surplus Populations, and Labor Frontier-Making in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia”
Articulating intimate geopolitics with a world-ecology approach, I examine how the labor of Rohingya refugees – a ‘relative surplus population’ – is selectively reincorporated into capitalist circuits, and with what effects. I argue that processes of racialization and securitization join to position Rohingya refugees as a labor frontier for capitalist accumulation.
